Buhari May Not Want Nigeria To Remain One – Umar Hass

L atest trending topic, that 2 of the 3 major tribes are actively clamouring for their own separate nations is in itself a failure for the Buhari administration. What makes it even more pathetic is how the government has made available an enabling environment for such agitations to fester and escalate to a point where we may just be fighting a civil war this October instead of celebrating our 57th independence.
Like i always say,President Buhari’s promise of placing those who voted en masse for him on a higher pedestal than those who didn’t breathed legitimacy into the Biafra and Ijaw nation struggles and as such,he is contributorily culpable of foisting this sad predicament upon us.The yorubas are the latest to join the train.
To take the loudest and perhaps more righteous of the struggles,after more than 31 non-ministerial appointments by this administration,the South-East was still waiting for its first.Add the lopsided appointments,Nnamdi Kanu’s incarceration contrary to court orders and the fact that the Minister of transport still hasn’t appeared before the Senate to defend the non-inclusion of a single South-Eastern state in the proposed rail projects and you have how Buhari justified the agitation for a Biafran state and won more converts for it.
I had planned to write on the need for nigerians to demand updates on the efforts being made by our law enforcement agencies to apprehend Yerima Shettima,the Arewa Youth Council Forum and his gang of hoodlums that issued the satanic ‘Kaduna declaration’ asking ibos resident in the northern states to vacate by October 1st but that was before the Presidency,with utter disregard for the possible consequences of doing such, released an Eid el Fitr audio message by President Buhari in hausa.The sheer insensitivity to the

Mr. Danladi was the first deputy governor who ran on the same ticket with former Governor Dantata Suntai. He was impeached on October 4, 2012 shortly before Mr. Suntai took ill after an air crash. He was accused of fraud and abuse of office. Another politician, Garba Umar, was then appointed deputy governor after his removal. And after then Governor Suntai took ill ...

We can’t run Nigeria like this, Health Minister tells commissioners

Nigeria’s Health Minister, Professor Isaac Adewole, speaks on health matters in the country. Excerpts: Can you share your thoughts on what your sector has done in two years and the challenges you have? (Cuts in) I have been part of the healthcare system for a long time and I have seen a lot of it over the years. I have been a critic of the health system before now and now I am inside the system. I used to say then that we should have this or that but I have come to see the whole gamut of the system and we are working very hard to make it work better for all. That is what I can say about that. So given that hindsight what are you doing differently? What I will do differently is what I call strategic engagement.

It is not just possible and we must be ready to tell Nigerians nothing but the pla...
